By Matt Sterner

Monsoon Chocolate Café + Market has been off to a great start since opening on the corner of Fort Lowell Road and Dodge Boulevard.

The space at 3630 E. Fort Lowell Rd. embodies a sense of spaciousness and warmth with a beautiful view of the Catalinas.

Along the floor-to-ceiling front window, you’ll find several high-top tables for two, perfectly positioned to soak in the panoramic views. Across the room, a well-appointed bar area features additional high-top seating.

Towards the rear, spacious four-top tables await, offering ample seating for larger groups. Adding to the ambiance, large, billowy clouds adorn the ceiling, some even illuminated with simulated “lightning” flashes.

Matt Sterner

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
